If you have a VOB video file that you have ripped from a DVD, you can't transfer and play it on an iPod or iPhone in VOB format. The iPod uses an MP4 (MPEG-4) format for playing videos, so you must convert the VOB file into such a compatible format. Or you have a lot of MP4 video on your Mac, and want to get these video into a format where it can be burned onto a DVD and watched with a DVD player, it will have to convert into .VOB format.
